Stephen Colbert imparts sage wisdom in Wired Magazine…

DON’T BE AFRAID TO MAKE THINGS UP. Never fear being exposed as a fraud. Experts make things up all the time. They’re qual­i­fied to.

PICK A FIELD THAT CAN’T BE VERIFIED. Try some­thing like string theory or God’s will: “I speak to God. I’m sorry that you can’t also.” Security experts are in this cat­e­gory: They have secu­rity clear­ances, we don’t. We can’t ques­tion the exper­tise of the NSA because we are not in the NSA.

GET AN HONORARY PHD. They work won­ders. I have a doc­torate in fine arts from Knox College in Illinois. All I did was give a speech, and now every­body has to call me Dr. Colbert.

This guy is on fire!
